It was noted that it is our understanding according to the practices of the parent bodies to make reference software available under copyright license header language which is the BSD license with preceding sentence declaring that contributor or third party rights are not granted, as e.g. recorded in N10791 of the 89th meeting of ISO/IEC JTC 1/ SC 29/ WG 11. Both ITU and ISO/IEC will be identified in the and tags in the header. This software header is currently used in the process of designing the new HEVC standard and for evaluating proposals for technology to be included in this design. Additionally, after development of the coding technology, the software will be published by ITU-T and ISO/IEC as an example implementation of the 3D video standard(s) and for use as the basis of products to promote adoption of the technology. This is likely to require further communication with and between the parent organizations.
The ATM, HTM and MFC software packages that are used in JCT-3V follow these principles. The view synthesis software used for non-normative post processing is included in the HTM package and also has the BSD header.
